| Jieyang Confucian Temple • The historical charm between red walls and green tiles. 🌈🌈🌈 Explore Jieyang Confucian Temple, a sacred place steeped in Chaoshan cultural heritage 📖📖📖 🚩 In the long history of Jieyang, Jieyang Confucian Temple stands out. It not only carries the dreams of ancient scholars but is also a brilliant pearl of Confucian culture. This ancient academy, standing side by side with the county government, is not only a place of reverence for Confucius but also a spiritual home for countless scholars. 🎆🎆🎆 📜 Looking back at the imperial examination era, Jieyang Confucian Temple nurtured 63 jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations), 308 juren (successful candidates in the provincial examinations), and numerous gongsheng (tribute students) and xiucai (candidates who passed the county-level exams) from the Southern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. Their names shine brightly in the history of the imperial examinations. 🏯 The Confucian Temple was first built in the Song Dynasty (1140) and has endured 877 years of wind and rain, undergoing 37 renovations. The expansion in the second year of Guangxu (1876) endowed it with its current majestic appearance. Its scale is second only to the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong, making it the most prominent county-level Confucian Temple in the country. 🎏 Walking through the Confucian Temple, the ancient architectural style echoes with Confucian temples nationwide, but every brick, tile, eave, and corner reveals the unique charm of Chaoshan culture. The exquisite ridge decorations and splendid roof paintings add a touch of liveliness and magnificence to this sacred place. 📍 Location coordinates: Jieyang Confucian Temple, Rongcheng District, Jieyang City, inviting you to appreciate the millennium cultural heritage together. 🎫 Ticket: Free, cultural sharing. ⏰️ Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM (last entry at 11:15 AM), 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:45 PM).
